As the three major campaigns were on the brink of victory,the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China(CPC)decided to promptly unify the publishing industry in the newly liberated areas,centralizing the authority for compiling and publishing the works of Marx,Engels,Lenin,Stalin,and important documents of the central government.Simultaneously,it"confiscated the publishing organs of Kuomintang"and led and organized private bookstores,rectifying the rampant market of reprints,counterfeits,and pornographic publications.In February 1949,the Publishing Committee of the Central Committee of the CPC was established,and in early December of the same year,it officially transformed into the Publishing Bureau under the Publishing Administration of the Central People's Government.The Publishing Committee was a highly significant leadership body,bringing together two teams working in urban and rural areas under the leadership of the CPC.It published series such as"Essential Reading for Cadres","Policy Series","Chinese People's Literature Series",as well as many new editions of textbooks.It rectified the national publishing and distribution market,cultivated a large number of new cadres,preliminarily constructed a new publishing and distribution system,and made important contributions to the CPC's dissemination of knowledge,consolidation of the regime,and rallying of the people.It had a profound impact on the publishing and distribution work of New China.
